Daniel Day-Lewis Monologues

I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed. I hate most people. There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I want to earn enough money that I can get away from everyone. I see the worst in people. I don’t need to look past seeing them to get all I need.

I am the Third Revelation! I am who the Lord has chosen!
